Do 0% scale objects affect IRay render times?

supercarter

Hello, I currently have a scene set up using the timeline where to hide objects in some frames I scale them down to 0% and I was curious about 2 things: 1) Does having 0% scale objects impact the rendering time or anything of IRay and 2) Is there a better method to toggle object visibility with the timeline?

1) it willl still consume RAM, if nothing else

2) you can use a ink, perhaps created using http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/elements/post_load_view_proxy_create/start and http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/elements/post_load_view_proxy_link_properties/start , to create an animated proeperty that controls viisibility
